Avoiding False Alarms
No matter how full-featured, and reliable a
security system is, a number of steps
must
be
taken to absolutely minimize the likelihood of
false alarms occurring. These include:
1)
Ensuring the system's configuration
accurately reflects the requirements at the
site (regarding the working times and
movement of personnel during a typical
workweek, etc.).
2)
Knowing how the police and fire departments
handle false alarms, and ensuring
appropriate procedures have been set up
with the monitoring station. For example,
identifying the types of alarms where an off-
site security or maintenance person is to be
called either first, or instead of the police.
3)
Ensuring all authorized persons know "where
they can go and when", and have received
appropriate training on the system. For
example, how to disarm the area, adjust the
'work late' time, and perform other basic
tasks through an LCD keypad.
Tip:
To greatly minimize false alarms pertaining to
personnel entering an armed area, the system will:
• Allow persons to enter only if they have the authority
to disarm the applicable area,
or
:
• Disarm the area automatically when the person is
granted entry (optional / if set for this).
